Chapter 679: This Son-In-Law Is Better Than Expected

...

“There’s no choice. Xuan Feng’s talent is outstanding. He’s already at the peak of the third-level Heavenly Immortal realm.”

“If it were anyone else, he might still have a chance of survival. If it were Xuan Feng, sigh... Forget about it.”

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao looked at the arrogant Xuan Feng in front of him and could not help but shake his head speechlessly.

Xuan Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Why’re you shaking your head?”

“Nothing.”

Ye Xiao spat out these three words indifferently and immediately took a step forward.

Xuan Feng muttered,

“Crazy...”

However, before he could say the word ‘fellow’, the next second, all the hair on his body stood on end.

The aura on Ye Xiao’s body erupted at a rapid speed, and it was extremely terrifying. It was unbelievable.

A Heavenly Immortal aura appeared and rose rapidly. The aura changed from first-level Heavenly Immortal, second level, third level, first-level Great Immortal... In the end, it stopped at the second-level Great Immortal realm.

The entire process added up to less than two seconds.

Xuan Feng was speechless.

He was completely stunned. His eyes were as wide as an ox’s eyeballs.

Originally, he thought that he was already a genius powerful enough to become an immortal cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm at such a young age.

In the end, he did not expect that the moment Ye Xiao made his move, he would immediately be like a king reaching the second-level Great Immortal realm. How was he supposed to fight?

Even if he were to cultivate for another ten years, he might not be able to defeat the other party even if the other party stood still and did not cultivate.

Seeing that Ye Xiao was about to arrive in front of him, Xuan Feng immediately stretched out his hand and made a stop sign.

“Stop for a moment first.”

Ye Xiao stopped in his tracks.

“What’s wrong?”

Xuan Feng took a deep breath and immediately said,

“I suddenly remembered that I was previously fighting with someone from the demonic sect. My body was injured and I was unable to unleash my full combat strength. Fighting with you like this can not be considered my true strength. If you were lucky enough to defeat me, it would not be glorious either!

“How about this, the duel between the two of us will stop for now. After I recover from my injuries, the two of us will compete again and see who wins and who loses.”

Ye Xiao nodded.

“That’s fine too.”

Xuan Feng heaved a sigh of relief and immediately turned around to leave.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll hurry back and recover from my injuries. We’ll meet again in the future.”

When the others saw that scene, they were all dumbfounded.

Xuan Feng actually ran away and even found such a lame excuse.

However, everyone more or less knew in their hearts that there was nothing they could do even if he did not run. The difference in strength between the two of them was really too great. If he did not run, it would be asking for humiliation if he stayed behind.

However, that move also allowed everyone to get to know Ye Xiao once again.

The weak had always admired the strong.

The reason why they had a certain degree of hostility toward Ye Xiao previously was entirely because he had snatched the holy maiden of the Phoenix immortal sect.

For such a small matter between a man and a woman, no matter what, the woman’s side would always feel that they had suffered a loss.

Moreover, if Ye Xiao’s strength was relatively poor, then he could only be considered a toad. At most, he would be a toad that looked rather good.

No matter how good-looking a toad was, if he ate swan meat, it would make everyone feel indignant.

Despite that, after seeing that Ye Xiao’s strength was so extraordinary, they actually felt that Ye Xiao was somewhat worthy of Feng Nishang.

Ye Xiao turned his head to take a look. Feng Nishang was also rather surprised. It was as if she did not expect that his strength had actually increased so much.

One had to know that the reason why she had become a second-level Great Immortal in such a short period of time was not that she had cultivated, but because she had obtained the inheritance of a high-level immortal of the Phoenix immortal sect.

What about Ye Xiao? He did not have any inheritance in the ordinary world. Other than having some special immortal techniques, he had nothing else.

Even so, he still successfully advanced to the second-level Great Immortal realm!

How terrifying was that speed?

It was simply heaven-defying to the point that it was impossible to describe.

Ye Xiao snapped his fingers.

“Hey, wake up.”

Feng Nishang jumped in fright and immediately recovered from her shock.

She looked at Ye Xiao, took a deep breath, and immediately said,

“Alright, let’s go.”

After saying that, she took the lead and entered.

Ye Xiao took a deep breath and also strode in.

It was his first time meeting a parental figure, so it was impossible to say that he was not nervous. It was much more difficult than killing the enemy in battle.

If you were in a battle to kill the enemy, you could still run if you could not win, but if you really could not, you could hide.

In his scenario, you could not even hide.

However, humans died for wealth, and birds died for food. In order to marry a wife and have children, he knew that he had to be bold.

After he entered, his divine sense swept over, and the faces of the five people all fused into his mind.

Not only that but the other party’s cultivation was also scanned by Ye Xiao.

He secretly clicked his tongue in his heart.

As expected of the Phoenix immortal sect, their methods were indeed different. Their standards were too high.

Among the high-level cultivators from the Great Qin immortal sect, even though they were all at the Great Immortal realm, they were only at the Great Immortal realm. Above that, there were no existences of a higher level.

In fact, most of them were in the first-level Great Immortal realm.

Whereas in front of him were four third-level Great Immortals and one of them had most likely reached the Imperial Immortal realm.

The difference between the two was simply not a little bit.

One had to know that the further one’s cultivation progressed, the harder it was to advance.

At the Great Immortal realm, every step of progression was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Some people might even stay in the same realm for their entire lives, unable to advance.

Not everyone could be as carefree as Ye Xiao.

Those high-level cultivators from the Great Qin immortal sect might not be able to catch up to the difference between them and the Phoenix immortal sect’s Grand Elders for their entire lives.

Everyone’s expressions were extremely unsightly. It was probably not just because of the matter between him and Feng Nishang.

It might also have something to do with the fact that he had directly scared Xuan Feng away and caused the Phoenix immortal sect to lose face.

However, Ye Xiao had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart.

At that moment, before the other party’s Grand Elders could say anything, Ye Xiao had already taken out a few hundred-thousand-year-old immortal herbs from his storage ring.

The supreme-grade immortal herb resources in Ye Xiao’s hands were countless and could not be used up. The little bit that he took out was just a drop in the ocean.

To others, it was very precious.

Even if the other party was a prodigy of the Phoenix immortal sect.

That kind of immortal herb looked like a pine mushroom. It was the kind of plant that bloated at the front and grew at the back.

Not only was it delicious, but it was also full of immortal energy and had a high nutritional value. It might increase their cultivation level by a lot.

Moreover, even if they were reluctant to eat it, they could still use it in the dead of night when they were bored.

It could be said that eating and using did not go wrong. It was very suitable to be given to the Grand Elders of the Phoenix immortal sect.

“Seniors, thank you for taking care of Nishang during this period of time. I don’t have anything to pay my respects other than this little thing. It can be considered a meeting gift for the seniors. Please accept it.”

After saying that, the entire room instantly fell silent. No one said anything. They only stared at the thing in his hand with disbelief.

A 90,000-year-old immortal herb. That kind of natural treasure was already quite rare and valuable. Where did he get it from?

Seeing that no one said anything, Ye Xiao already understood in his heart that it was settled.

Looks like Li Si digging up that primordial almighty figure’s tomb was indeed the right choice, and he had helped him a lot.

He did not wait for everyone to speak and took the initiative to go forward, placing a huge immortal herb in front of each Grand Elder.

The Phoenix immortal sect Grand Elders looked at the immortal gerb in front of them, and for a moment, they even swallowed their saliva.

What a good fellow. That kid was very sensible!

He gave them such a good thing right from the start. Even if they wanted to embarrass him, they would be embarrassed to do so again.

They were soft-spoken and short-handed.

Even high-level cultivators did not have surplus food.

On the other hand, Feng Nishang stretched out two fingers and ruthlessly pinched the soft meat on Ye Xiao’s waist.

Her heart was bleeding. Such a good thing was given to those Grand Elders. How much did he have of them to lose?

Ye Xiao, that scoundrel. To think that she was so touched earlier, thinking that he had given her the 90,000-year-old multi-colored immortal orchid. In the end, she did not expect that he would take out the even more precious immortal herb in the blink of an eye.

She was really touched for nothing!

Everyone coughed lightly and immediately put the things into their respective storage rings. Then, they did not know what to say.

After all, all the words they had prepared were aimed at Ye Xiao. Since they had asudden change of heart, they had not thought of what to say.

However, they were still wise and experienced people. One of the Grand Elders coughed lightly and immediately said,

“This Ye... Uh, is his name Ye Xiao?”

Ye Xiao nodded and the other party continued to say,

“As for the matter between you and Nishang, we only know about it for a short period of time. However, as elders, we have to say a few words to you.

“The two of you have yet to cultivate to the Imperial Immortal realm. Why don’t you know how to avoid getting into this situation?

“Don’t you two know that if you transcend the tribulation while you’re pregnant, your life will be in danger?

“Even if you have given birth, the constitution of a woman will also deteriorate. On the path of cultivation, it will be very difficult for you to cultivate to perfection.

“Ye Xiao, you only cared about your momentary gratification and did not put Nishang’s safety in your heart at all. This is your fault.”

Her words were more peaceful and were not as strict.

Ye Xiao smiled bitterly. Back then, it was not him who took the initiative, but Feng Nishang.

Moreover, Feng Nishang was already a True Immortal at that time and was much stronger than him. He had no way of resisting her at all.

It was not his fault at all.

However, as a man, he definitely could not push the blame onto Feng Nishang.

As a man, if he could not shield his woman from the wind and rain, he would be too useless.

Hence, he nodded again.

“Senior’s reasoning is right. I didn’t handle this properly.”

Looking at his attitude, it could be said that he had a decent attitude. Thus, everyone took advantage of the situation to give him some face.

“It’s good that you know your mistakes. However, since things have already come to this, it’s useless for us to keep blaming you. If there’s a problem, we still have to deal with it.”
